This island home could be yours for under $2 million

This stunning home, certain to impress, is listed at $1.955 million. But there is a catch: it's located on the other side of the country, in the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington state. The three bedroom, three bathroom home sits on 12 acres of land on Orcas Island, a tight-knit community in the beautifully rainy Pacific Northwest. If you're looking for an island property closer to home, look no further than the Long Island Sound. However, it'll cost you...nearly $10 million. Islands off the coast of Stamford and Norwalk are home to some of the most lavish estates in southwestern Connecticut.
